Apple will release iOS 8 beta 5 on August 4th and iOS 8 beta 6 on August 15th, according to a new report from BGR. The site has correctly predicted beta firmware release dates in the past.

According to our sources, Apple is nearing the end of the beta testing cycle for iOS 8. We are told that the company plans to seed iOS 8 beta 5 to developers on August 4th, and a final version of the OS, iOS 8 beta 6 on August 15th. After that we most likely are going to have a lull of several weeks until Apple is ready to release the iOS 8 GM (this is the final version, barring any unforeseen emergency fixes / problems).

Apple just released iOS 8 beta 4 to developers two days ago. There were some significant changes in the beta, click here to see what's new.

Here's a few of the changes we've posted on already: Continuity, Handoff, AirDrop, Instant Hotspot, Health, iCloud Drive, Family Sharing, Photos, Camera, Mail, Safari, Messages, QuickType, Third-Party Keyboards, Interactive Notifications, Spotlight, and Contact Shortcuts.
